iTunes Editors’ Notes

R&B stars now consider Brandy a classic voice in the same way that performers of Brandy’s generation revered Whitney Houston's performances classic. The title of Two Eleven refers to the date of Houston’s passing, which is also Brandy’s birthday. It's representative not only of the cyclical nature of R&B music but of the qualities the two shared: specifically, self-assurance. Brandy no longer needs to compete with the newest young singing sensations, freeing her to make an album like Two Eleven, which focuses almost solely on collaborations with rap producers. Brandy brought out the hypnotic, sensual aspects of productions by Bangladesh, Jim Jonsin, and Mike WiLL Made It, most of whom are better known for working with Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane than with female singers. The album displays an attention to peculiar sound design surely influenced by Brandy’s mentor Timbaland. At the same time, songs like “Wildest Dreams” and “Without You” are open fields, where Brandy's voice is allowed to fly high. It’s a voice that has become a certified symbol of class and quality within the field of modern soul music.

I'm very excited for the highly anticipated return of Brandy. This is going to be something that will be remembered for a long long time. This will be the album that will make you say to yourself, " Why is this person buying just the singles? The whole album is amazing!" All of Brandy's fans have been waiting for something like this for the longest amount of time. The singles remind you of the amazing work she did in the past from I Wanna Be Down, Baby, Almost Doesn't Count, Have You Ever?, Top of the World, The Boy is Mine, One Voice, Full Moon, Like This, What About Us?, Come a Little Closer, etc. These songs focus on the true Brandy and so will this album. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that an album could me so much to me already. The countdown has begun for TWO ELEVEN, THE REBIRTH OF BRANDY!

I love this girl and her music and am so proud to buy this album. Im only 15 but I can remember when I would make my mom put the Full Moon Cd in the Cd player in the car and just sing my heart out when i was 5. She's truly my inspiration. I've never given up on Brandy and I never will because she is such a strong and beautiful person. Her voice is one of a kind and I'm in love with all of her songs. B-Rockin for you Brandy :))
